11 10. Describe the relationship between the insect, balsam woolly adelgid, and Fraser fir tree. 11. What might happen to the parasite if its host were to die? Label the organisms are a host or a parasite in the relationship below: Tapeworms are flatworms that attach themselves to the intestines of animals such as cows, pigs, and humans. They get food by eating the host's partly digested food, depriving the host of nutrients. Fleas land on animals, such as dogs, and bite their skin, sucking their blood, and causing them to itch. The fleas, in turn, get food and a warm home. A tick is a small insect that lands on an animal, such as a deer, out in the woods. The tick feeds on the animal. The animal that it lands on may develop Lyme disease as a result. Head lice infest a creature s hair and suck blood from the scalp. This damages the creatures s scalp and leads to small blood loss and itching, while providing a habitat for the head lice. tapeworrm flea deer creature animal dog tick lice 11
